Idea Details

An IoT based real time water consumption monitoring and smart billing system which aims to socially aware people regarding their consumption of water and help authorities revolutionize billing system.

What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ?

Pakistan is facing an acute water crisis with fresh water depleting at an alarming rate. Authorities anticipate that the country would likely suffer a shortage of 31 million acre-feet of water by 2025. Per capita water availability declined per inhabitant by 40% so the crisis is real.

Who needs it ? How many would benefit ?

It would help the government collect more revenue therefore WASA would be our top beneficiary from this. Also, all major societies/cities citizens can benefit from this and they can monitor the consumption of their water in the house and how to save it as it's a depleting resource.

How will the solution works

We’ve proposed a solution that allows consumers to monitor their daily consumption of water in the house. By installing a single flow-meter on the main water pipeline of the house, we’ll be able to identify and pinpoint the areas with water wastage by using various machine learning algorithms. This would help the user tweak their water consumption habits. Another aspect of this project is water metering, which would help the government charge consumers according to their consumption.

Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different

No competitors in the local market currently. All international competitors use IoT only to deploy this solution which results in a high cost for the user. We'll just be implementing the solution with one flow-meter per house incorporated with machine learning algorithms. .
